Hi! My name is Felix, and I am a 7 month old, purebred male puppy born March 8th! I’ll steal your heart faster than I will steal your socks! When you look up the definition for “perfect Cavalier puppy” in the dictionary, my picture is right there. I’m still learning how to be a dog, but I have come such a long way already in my time in foster care! I was given to rescue when my owner could no longer take care of me.

I am just so excited to be here! Everything is new and thrilling for me. I love to explore my surroundings. My favorite things are chew toys, yak cheese, and more chew toys. Have I mentioned that I love to chew? My foster mom has to keep a close eye on me to make sure I’m only chewing the right things. I get along great with my foster mom’s 5 year old son. We’re best friends. We like to play together with my toys. I also really enjoy working on my manners and getting treats! I have mastered sit, and I’m still working on stay and come, but I’ll get there with more reinforcement. I do walk nicely on a leash and need daily long leash walks to help me get my puppy energy out! I do sometimes try and eat mulch and other things on walks, so I need someone to keep a close eye on me so that I don’t get an upset tummy. 

My foster mom has a senior Cavalier that I like to bother. My foster mom says that I need a younger playmate in my forever home – one that I can play with and learn the ropes from. I have a lot of energy and I need a playmate!

I am crate trained if you need to leave the house, but I don’t like to be there for very long. I have had a few accidents in the house while learning where to ask to go out to potty. If my foster mom watches my cues, I don’t have a problem. But I will need someone patient with me as I perfect my skills. I prefer to sleep in my crate at night, next to my foster mom’s bed. I have been to the vet and been given a clean bill of health!

I love to give kisses. I just can’t keep my licker! 

Foster mom says my new owner needs to be dog savvy and experienced with training puppies. I can be overwhelming when you first meet me because I’m just so excited and happy! I need someone to remain calm and patient with me as I navigate being a puppy. I’ve been bounced around a bit already, prior to coming into rescue, so I have a little anxiousness and excited energy. After a few days with my foster mom, I settled down nicely into our household routines. I required supervision, reinforcement, and lots of physical and mental playtime.

My new home should be one with an owner that is home most of the day because I don’t like being left alone for long periods of time. I need another young, playful small dog to show me the ropes and play with me! A fenced yard is necessary for all of the zoomies I have. I haven’t been around cats, so I’d probably be best suited for a home with no cats. I love kids so a home with respectful, dog savvy kids would be a plus.

If you think you might be a good fit as my new forever family and you live within a reasonable driving distance to Chapel Hill, NC, please complete an online application if you haven’t already and then notify Angie Hansing of your interest by emailing her at nccavalierrescuemom@gmail.com

Harley (7-year-old Ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) is the Ethan Hawke of the house – a smart, expressive, easy-going hunk! He is your quintessential Cavalier: either playing, eating, or napping on your lap. Harley adjusts well and quickly to multiple dogs and small kids in the mix. He is low maintenance, confident, and calm, only barking when the dreaded trash man takes his family’s garbage away – how dare they?! He sleeps like a champ through the night in his own area, and knows how to come, sit, beg, and fetch! His favorite past times are playing fetch with his stuffed hedgehog and burying himself in a pile of warm laundry. 

Harley came from another rescue after he had lived in a home for over a year where he was loved but did not receive proper health updates or good nutrition. He gained 10 pounds in this placement and weighs 30 lbs. He lost a few teeth in his dental, but he still has a pretty smile and his chewing teeth. He also has a dry eye condition in his left eye that will require eye drops twice daily. Overall, he is very healthy and a very handsome dog. He had fleas previously and developed a bite allergy. His back end was shaved and he had a few hotspots, but that has been healed and his coat will be full and beautiful again.

He could probably do well as a single dog so long as he had a human around to snuggle with and play with frequently, as this breed requires and thrives on attention and affection. He also loves being around other dogs, kids, and people. He has not been exposed to to cats, but he has been around reactive dogs, and does exceptionally well. He does not react to another dog’s growl / display of foul mood – that kind of stuff doesn’t bother him in the least. He DOES prefer eating his own food by himself though – and does not like to share or when other dogs try to sniff his food – which really, who does?!

Harley loves activities, and jumps right into any action, always ready to play, so would do well in an active home. He is also great if you want to just sit down for a nice snuggle session. He simply LOVES life – whatever you want to do – he’s up for it! He walks great on leash and does not destroy his toys. In fact, he has not tried to chew on or destroy anything in the house at all – he is so well behaved. He is a one-of-a-kind, gentle, confident guy and will make an amazing companion to anyone who is ready to snuggle!

If you are interested in Harley, please fill out an application on the website if you haven’t already, and let Janis Stauffer know of your interest at okstauffer@aol.com. We are happy to consider applicants who live within a day’s drive of Tulsa.

Hi! My name is Flynn, and I was born in December 2023. I’m a fun-loving, energetic redhead looking for a family that is playful and loves kisses.

You’re going to fall in love with my cute face, soft fur, and floppy ears. Not only that, but I am very sweet according to everyone who meets me. I’m a quick study, and I’m learning how to sit before my food bowl is set down and how not to jump on people. I’m getting pretty good at both of those. I’m also potty trained and will retreat to my kennel when asked to do so. 

I really like having a big selection of toys and enjoy playing one-sided fetch with my toys. That’s where you throw it, I go get it and bring it back to show you. But I’ll run away before you can get it.

Watching a sad movie? My empathetic side will come through, and I will give you a hug and then lay on your lap until you run out of tissues. I’ll be your very best friend because I’m very affectionate. I’m always up for playtime or a nap.

My ideal home is one where my humans are around to keep me company most of the day. I would also love to have another gentle, playful fur sibling about the same size as me to play with so that I do not get bored.

I had an ear infection when I first came into rescue, but it’s been treated and cleared up nicely. Otherwise, I am a very healthy and happy little fella. I’m always smiling because my teeth are nice and sparkly, and I’ll show them off to you every chance I get. I’m also up to date on my vaccinations and heartworm preventative, and I weigh 23 pounds.

If you think you would be a great fit and can provide Flynn with everything he needs, please submit an application, if you haven’t already done so. Then reach out to TJ Mareno at Rescue4Life01@gmail.com to let her know of your interest. Applicants within a reasonable driving distance will be considered.
